Up for sale, a 1993 Epiphone Casino in excellent , 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case. Produced at the Terada factory in Japan, this is an early Epiphone reissue which preceded the "Elitist" line, boasting a factory-installed Bigsby B7 (USA-made) vibrato.
Acoustically, the fully hollow thinline maple body has a smooth, bright tone with great articulation, faithfully captured by the original P-90 pickups. The pickups are wound to vintage spec with plenty of midrange bark, and a glassy, percussive quality. Offering a refinement far beyond most other modern Casino reissues, these pickups are sensitive to picking dynamics with an overarching sweetness and sparkling cut, equally suited to detailed cleans and rich overdrive. Featherweight at 6lbs 11oz, this Casino has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple (three-piece)
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .775” 1st fret, .890” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, parallelogram inlays, faint finger wear behind frets 1-2
-Frets: Medium jumbo, moderate wear beneath the plain strings on frets 1-4
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 9/16” bone
-Tuners: Kluson-style, Gotoh
Body Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Pickups: P-90 x2

-Plastics: Gold reflector cap knobs, cream switch tip
-Serialization: 3-prefix (1993) on orange oval label (bass-side F hole)
The gloss Sunburst finish shows only some small scattered dings and light buckle scuffing on the back at the waist. The gloss on the neck profile is clean and smooth with just a few shallow nicks.
A modern Epiphone hardshell case is included.
